Differential
FPLamingo recommends a Manchester United defender as a potential differential over the festive period. Could he become the latest wing back to take this FPL season by storm, with consistent attacking returns?
Considering Diogo Dalot as a differential for Man Utd (0.1%)
5.3m with a deadeye cross + Cardiff, Huddersfield, Bournemouth, Newcastle up next.
Solskjaer likes to play with attacking fullbacks offering width very high up the pitch.
Expect both CS and assists for Dalot.#fpl pic.twitter.com/6GDrlERBBT

Picks
It’s Arsenal’s Aubameyang who is given the nod from the FPL Editor in the Top Five picks from the Fantasy Football Fix algorithm. He’s tipped for captaincy, plus there’s interest in a Manchester City midfielder and the Chelsea defence.
